QUITMAN, Mo. - Multiple law enforcement agencies have launched a search near Quitman, reigniting efforts in a decades-old disappearance case.
The Nodaway County Sheriff's Office says four law enforcement agencies assisted them in the search of a well on a private residence yesterday in connection with Branson Perry, a Skidmore resident who vanished over 23 years ago.
Sheriff Randy Strong said they received a credible tip, but wouldn't elaborate anymore on when they receieved the tip or what it is.
Sheriff Strong added that they will remain at the scene until the FBI sends a specialized team to assist at the scene. That could happen within a week.
The then 20-year-old Perry disappeared on April 11, 2001, after mentioning to a friend that he was returning jumper cables to a shed outside his home.
